We are excited to announce that The Patient's Association is a 2024 Charity of the Year finalist!

In Slater and Gordon’s Charity of the Year competition, we have been selected as one of ten charities shortlisted, following a stringent judging process where more than 200 applications were received.

This is a true testament to the work that we do and the impact we have for patients across the UK.

The charity selected as Charity of the Year will receive a significant five figure donation and a commitment to 12 months of fundraising support and brand visibility.

We have a strong vision for 2025, and a donation of this size would enable us to further influence positive changes to healthcare, support patients navigating the system and amplify patient voices across the UK.

Thank you to the judging panel, Madelene Holdsworth (Managing Director of Specialist Legal Services at Slater and Gordon), Charity Week Founder Lee Rayment as well as Fran Eccles-Bech, Chief Executive at Manchester Law Society.

Michael Dunleavy, Head of Business Development at Slater and Gordon comments “Our Charity of the Year campaign is a new initiative that allows us to take a moment to shine a light on the important work charities do for individuals and communities across the country.

Selecting the top ten charities from more than 200 entries was not an easy task, as each charity that applied supports such amazing causes and all have compelling stories.

Before casting your vote, I urge everyone to take their time in reading each charity’s inspiring story and their vision for change, innovation and impact.

Congratulations and good luck to our finalists.”
